Chapter 276: He Jiaqing's Hand
After Duan Shaoxia calmed down, Qiu Zhiheng had Tan Fucheng explain everything from beginning until the end.
Tan Fucheng made one thing clear right away. "Steward Qiu, this isn't on me. When the eldest young master came to me, the first thing he asked was who was in charge of the Lu Family."
He paused, then added, "I work for the Lu Family. I have to follow the head of the family. I didn't have a choice."
Duan Shaoxia kept crying, but Qiu Zhiheng stayed calm. He turned to Tan Fucheng and asked, "How did you get in touch with He Haiqin?"
"The eldest young master arranged it," Tan Fucheng said. "I don't know the details, but I heard it had something to do with his son, He Jiaqing."
"Did He Haiqin make a move tonight?"
Tan Fucheng shook his head. "I was the one who trapped the Old Master[1],. The eldest young master planned to handle it himself and didn't want anyone watching. The second young master and I stayed at the alley entrance, while He Haiqin waited by the wall."
He hesitated for a moment. "Then, for some reason… the eldest young master's body suddenly shattered."
"The Desolation-Shattering Sword?"
